Application Materials

Application Instructions

Proof of parentage of each ancestor in the line of descent is required. Copies of birth, marriage and death certificates are required for the first three generations for the bloodline carrier and the spouse. If you have proved your ancestor through either the DAR or SAR, you may use those proofs.

Service records should be from original records or acceptable substitute records.

On application completion and acceptance by the certifying genealogist, the descendant may join for a one time fee of $77.00, $99.00 for a family, and will receive a Descendant GMB certificate.

Notes: All fees go to further the research of identifying and recognizing the service of these remarkable individuals. Commemorative gravesite flags will be available. Application and proof documents will not be returned; they will be filed with the Descendants of Green Mountain Boys.
